What are the characteristics of rib tissue?
Rib tissue is a transversely highly elastic tissue, that is, when stretched transversely, it has greater elongation and elasticity, and the higher the density, the better the elasticity; the longitudinal direction is the same as the weft, and the strength is slightly higher. The rib structure is a double-sided symmetrical structure, so it does not curl and is not easy to fall apart.
The sinking arc of the reverse coil is hidden behind the front coil and is approximately perpendicular to the plane of the fabric, making the fabric thicker and warmer; stretching causes the sinking arc to bend and twist, so the external force is removed, and the front and back coils quickly reset and become highly elastic. Since the rib structure follows the weaving direction and the rows will not fall apart, the closing edge can be directly woven into a plain edge without the need for hemming or hemming. Rib tissue is often used in clothing collars, cuffs, trouser leg openings, hem edges, sock cuffs, etc. and elastic, tights, sportswear, etc. Especially after being woven or lined with spandex yarn, the elasticity is better.
The double rib weave fabric is composed of two rib weaves spread out in the weft direction, so when the unfilled coefficient is the same as the rib weave, the extensibility and elasticity of the double rib weave are relatively minimal. Double rib knitted fabric has a typical double-layer structure.
It is thick and durable, has good warmth retention, is smooth and beautiful, has a compact structure, is symmetrical and stable, does not curl, has large interactions, and has low coil detachment. Double rib knitted fabric is suitable for cotton sweaters, winter underwear, tight bodybuilding clothing, sportswear and jackets, etc. And with colored yarn, it can be woven into colorful double rib structures such as colorful horizontal strips, colorful vertical strips, colorful small squares, etc., commonly known as colorful cotton wool cloth. If there are no needles inserted into some needle grooves on the upper and lower cylinders, various longitudinal concave and convex stripes can be formed, commonly known as striped cotton cloth.
